it's so appropriate--for a woman whose privacy was almost inviolable for 50+ years-- that we learn of her death nearly three months after it occurs.

i've read in a few places (and heard from a few folks) that hara never really enjoyed acting, and that the choice to leave the profession was not difficult. which provides a slightly sad cast to her many performances (many of which are already quite melancholy).

not enough people mention her performance in naruse's 'sound of the mountain,' which is quite different--more animated, more overtly expressive--than her performances in many ozu films, in which her mix of warmth and impenetrability (sp?) is sort of the point.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES, PART 2: BIKERS, DRUGS, AND ROCK & ROLL

Aiming for Gas-s-s and Machine-Gun Kelly.

last night to see the v good dramedy Christmas, Again at MoMA. Filmmaker operated an actual tree mart in Greenpoint (for 3 years!) to write the script. (also streaming i think)

and for you planners, two 70mm screenings of The Wild Bunch right after Christmas

^alas there is no presentable 70mm print of TWB, but they ARE showing it in 35 on Sat/Sun

inneresting.

Keith Baxter, who plays the wily Prince Hal in Orson Welles’ Chimes at Midnight, will introduce the 7:30 screening on Wednesday at Film Forum.

Someone please go see Benjamin Naishtat's El Movimento tonight at Film Society of Lincoln Center, so that you can tell me if it's good. His History of Violence was very promising.

http://www.screenslate.com/whats-showing-today/thursday-january-7-el-movimiento-at-film-society-of-lincoln-center

The Goldbug Variations is pretty fun as well.

Also, in that series, The Club is very very good, and I really want to hear if Ixcanul is good!

can't do tonight. figure Larrain and Ripstein will be playing soon.

seeing The Treasure on Saturday and it's fairly ILX unsearchable... anybody seen it already?

Yup. I'm a huge fan of Porumbiu and I really liked it. Funny, droll, beautiful, one if the best endings of the year. I also love thinking about it, it's subtly smart.

cool! i'm gonna try to double feature that with (of all things) the theatrical re-release of studio ghibli's "Only Yesterday"

i'm happy that movie finally came over. saw a fansub VHS in my teens, was charmed.

it's a US debut, yes

caught 'doomed love' on a fairly beat-up 16mm print last night in LA, would like to see the rest of these somehow

that's a pretty awesome series title

i saw Doomed Love about 5 years ago, which means of course i remember nothing.

j. rosenbaum's review from 1981: http://www.jonathanrosenbaum.net/1981/06/the-masterpiece-you-missed-doomed-love/

it's got a very funny scene set in a convent. i really only got restless in the half-hour before the intermission due to hunger (i smuggled in a burrito)
